Thanks.

Your comments are very helpful.

I know a large percentage (majority?) of Israeli Jews come from North Africa and the Middle East.

I assumed the north European Jews most closely resembled Europeans.

And, yes, I always mix up which group is Ashkenazi and which group is Sephardim.

Yeah, I always laugh at the liberal talking point that Israelis are some sort of European colonists. A plurality of Israelis are Sephardic that were ethnically cleansed from the surrounding Muslim countries (e.g. Syria, Lebanon, Egypt).

One, they had no choice but to go there. Two, they are visually the same as any one else in the region.

For the record, I’m very tall mesomorph with black curly hair, darkish skin — and blue eyes. Pretty clearly a mutt.
